I thank God for those churches, whatever their denominations, to come out from among them. The Lord bless them and keep them.
The Church has a world-wide vote that decided NOT to accept gay marriage.
The lefties just ignored it.
“It’s settled law” only when they want it to be.
UCLA said in 2011: 3.5% of the population is LGBTQ.
Somehow, the numbers went way up in the last couple of years coinciding with promotion in schools.
2022: ABC News. The percent of U.S. adults who identify as something other than heterosexual has doubled over the last 10 years, from 3.5 percent in 2012 to 7.1 percent, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday.
So the Methodist Church is making a division over 7.1 % of possible congregants (although regular church going is probably at a low amount among the gays).
25K remaining. Speaks volumes.
Methodist bump!
Yes, 25,000 churches remain in the UMC.
Some are at risk of losing their facilities to the UMC.
Some already have.
Some have pastors who are about to retire and who do not want to lose their pensions.
Many more are subsidized by the apportionments that were provided by the conservative, Bible-believing, and tithing congregations who have now fled the UMC.
As the free money dries up those churches will be sold off.
Which was at least part of the point here was the lefty grifters took over the UMC fully intending to profit from the tens of billions in real estate that is owned by the UMC.
Oh, 5,000 bigoted homophobic branches eh?
That split had been danced around for as long as was possible. I am amazed that it took this long. There are plenty more congregations that are left behind. Many will leave as time goes on.
The Lord rejects everything homosexual related, His is the only vote that counted.
The only thing a sinner can do that He approves of is repent, responding to the old Gospel.
Romans 1:18-32 says what happens when folks do not give Him glory or are thankful but instead want “church” their way.
I would not be surprised if the Roman Catholic Church did something jut like that.
That Evil person posing as a Catholic Pope is at it again.
This time, it’s very bad.
Therefore:
Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
The August 19 date refers solely to the adoption of the gaysbian agenda, NOT to the “Full Communion” agreement.
Be rooted in Christ!
Delighted to see that 1/3 of the congregations in my Pennsylvania County—including the ones that I pastored many decades ago—are among those departing.
Sadly, the congregation of my childhood is not among them.
Of course that one has been served by a female in recent years...
Do you think an openly declared UMC "reverend" will opine on this topic, in this thread and others, so directly a part of her Freeper persona?
Another church caves to faggotry and perversion
Stay as far away as you can

My church voted 85% to disaffiliate, significantly more than the required 67%. The libs in our church were shocked to find that the VAST majority of butts in the pews believe in the biblical view of sex and marriage. I’m very encouraged.
UM Churches in my area had to fork over $$$$$ to leave the denomination even though 90+% voted to disaffiliate.
